Years ago I met you

I never dreamed of what we would go through

Every time I needed you

When I didn't know what to do

You were there

Every time I cried

Every time I thought I'd died

You were there

Back when life was pure

Back when I wasn't sure

You were always there

You became an expectation

You became a constant

I thought that we'd never leave the station

But I like trains that don't move

Everyone told us that the time was coming

The time to leave

But they didn't say

That the time was now

They yelled "All aboard for Saratoga!"

You took my hand

You gave me a sad smile

And left me alone on the sand

You left me in a desert

Dry and lifeless without you

I didn't want you to go

There was nothing I could do
